| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on the role of monetary evolution (i.e., the transition from commodity money to regional money passing through colonial and national money) on the changes in economic relationships at both regional and global levels. Due to colonization, the circulation areas of the existing commodity money were reshaped by European powers. Specifically, they were incorporated into some currency areas such as franc, sterling, and escudo. After independence, former French territories tended to maintain the colonial currency system, while former British and Portuguese colonies opted for a direct integration into the world economy by issuing their own national currencies. Nowadays, these ex-colonies have been making efforts towards the creation of a common currency area. In addition, this research clarifies the role of an indigo-dyed cotton cloth from French India, known as guinee, introduced by France in the 19th century as a means of payment in Senegal and French Sudan.
